• Strange to say, at that epoch, people still imagined that a wedding was a private and social festival, that a patriarchal banquet does not spoil a domestic solemnity, that gayety, even in excess, provided it be honest, and decent, does happiness no harm, and that, in short, it is a good and a venerable thing that the fusion of these two destinies whence a family is destined to spring, should begin at home, and that the household should thenceforth have its nuptial chamber as its witness.

  On s'imaginait encore à cette époque, chose bizarre, qu'un mariage est une fête intime et sociale, qu'un banquet patriarcal ne gâte point une solennité domestique, que la gaîté, fût-elle excessive, pourvu qu'elle soit honnête, ne fait aucun mal au bonheur, et qu'enfin il est vénérable et bon que la fusion de ces deux destinées d'où sortira une famille commence dans la maison, et que le ménage ait désormais pour témoin la chambre nuptiale.
